Is that Kid Rock pitching for Oakland?

No, it must be Kid Walk.

Arraez tracking to break Barry Bonds’ .609 OBP record.

HIP HIP!

Really good to see the Twins "A" lineup (minus Larnach and Lewis if you want to include him) knock around a poor team after failing to do so in 5 games against Oakland.

[Vanimal46]

Whelp. Some storms are quickly rolling through town and I’m a mile away from the house with my dog…. Might be a wet T-shirt contest happening soon.

Why is your dog wearing a t-shirt?

Apparently, they both are, since it will be a contest.

[Doctor Gast]

We could use some of those runs yesterday

With a lovely pair of culottes

I should get my dog a Twins shirsey. I’m currently thinking Bartolo Colon because he’s moving at a glacial pace when it’s thundering all around us. 

[Mill1634]

Jeffers! He deserves this after the beating today

[Mill1634]

Gordon getting in on the fun! Great to see

[stringer bell]

Every player has reached base at least once and every player has either a run scored or RBI. Only Buxton is hitless. Kind of fun to have the whole lineup contribute.

And a crooked batting helmet

[MMMordabito]

Lots of guys getting off the snead this inning.  Hope it's the start of a run of offensive explosion.

 

[LA Vikes Fan]

Wow, offensive explosion. Good thing we got rid of that Lewis guy . . . Seriously, I now remember how much different this lineup looks with Correa in the lineup, even better with Correa and Buxton...

[Unwinder]

Another lousy offensive inning, only five runs? 

[Brock Beauchamp]

I’m not sure how the Twins plan to remain in first place given this pathetic offensive effort today.

TRADE EVERYONE

Am I going to have to be the one who addresses the elephant in the room?

FIRE ROCCO

[CRF]

This is what we absolutely need to do...beat up on these bad teams. We have to do the same thing to KC and Det over the next couple weeks.

You're not up on your latest dog fashion trends?

Failures, the lot of 'em!  Next time it better be 7 runs or the lashings will start!

[stringer bell]

I wish there were more games like this. Good hitting up and down the lineup, good pitching from the starting pitcher and there are 11 runs in six innings.

Is he the Big Sexy of the dog community while doing it though?  That's the real question!

[Mill1634]

Challenges should be unavailable if the score is not within 6 runs and your past the 5th inning

How are they doing this after shipping out their 4th best player on roster to St Paul?

I think so! But I’m biased.
